The actress styled her wet blonde locks into a sweptback bun and appeared to go make-up free as she showed off her glowing complexion.  

Davinia revealed in the caption that she will be hosting a special chat on her Instagram on Sunday to discuss how to tan safely, skin cancer and Vitamin D.

She said: ‘How do we tan “safely”? Why do we even want to?? What about vitamin D synthesis?? What about the ever increasing rates of skin cancer but mass use of SPF in everything??! What about Hawaii banning it as the coral reef has died ???? 

‘What’s in SPF ? Can humans photosynthesise?? Does sun give us energy?? What can we take supplement wise to help with burning and do tan accelerators work or do they damage the skin ????

‘But I am super healthy, super fit and super ok with a bit of swelling while my Thai green curry, stivia chocolate, bottle of kombucha, coconut cappuccino, sourdough butty and handful of olive oil crisps digest!!!! 

‘However I do eat far too quickly!!!! Fret not if you have to undo your pants a bit as long as your not eating ultra processed foods you will digest, assimilate and excrete the tasty fuel regardless!!!! Enjoy your dinner #body #bodypositive #biohacking’.
